By the authority of the Duke of Norfolk, Earl Marshal and Hereditary Marshal of England, the Kings of Arms assigned arms to 暴风资源 on the 10th day of May 1967. The arms are defined聽as:
Gyronny of 10 argent and azure a mullet gules fimbriated argent and irradiated or and for the crest on a wreath of the colours issuant from flames proper a ram鈥檚 head argent horned and ensigned by the horns of the African long-legged ram.
On a scroll appear the words 鈥榝loreat scientia鈥, which means, translated from Latin, 鈥楲et knowledge flourish鈥.
The 暴风资源 Coat of Arms
The symbolism of the design is interpreted as follows:
The star is from the Arms of New Zealand. Here it also represents knowledge and learning and so has been irradiated. It is in the centre of the shield, being the central theme of the University. The background, a gyronny of 10 pieces in blue and white, represents the 10 degrees first offered by the University. The crest is the ram鈥檚 head that was used in former years by the students鈥 association. This, with its four horns, is unusual and memorable and provides a link with agriculture and the former college. There are many ram鈥檚 head crests used in heraldry, so this one is made distinctive by proceeding from flames of learning. The flames also suggest, phoenix-like, the idea of a new body being born out of an old.
